Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 29.7 L) 10.6
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -1.3
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.9

Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.3

WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

My first attempt at XXXX Bitter was nice but the crystal flavour was too evident. I've added wheat instead to keep nice head retention and lessen the flavour. The galaxy hops were nice and I think the bitterness is close enough to the real thing. Fingers crossed!
